Wednesday May 25

He’s still sedated today, but stirring a little bit. He has acknowledged my voice a few times. Not much has changed.

I saw his abdomen today without the dressing on it. What a beautiful sign of healing! His Mom Sandee was just elated. It looks good, no seeping, no redness. There are 20-30 staples from nipples down to his pubic area. It’s going to be a gnarly scar alright. And most importantly, they lined his tattoo up properly and it wasn’t affected at all! I totally expected it to read ADREALIN JUKIE, but it’s fine. Really, I know, that is certainly NOT the most important thing, but every little WIN needs to be celebrated.

He’s off to surgery to clean and flush his leg wounds again today. Wish him luck.
